Chronic pain, defined
Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts for 3-6 months or longer. People can experience chronic pain for a variety of reasons, and seeking medical attention is the most responsible way to treat it.
Acute pain is defined as pain that goes away on its own after a few hours, days, or weeks. A mild ankle sprain, for example, is considered acute because the pain usually goes away within a few days.
Acute and chronic pain can both harm your quality of life by limiting your mobility, increasing your reliance on prescription drugs, or even causing anxiety and depression. All of this, however, can be avoided with the help of physical therapy.
Common causes of chronic pain
Chronic injury, diabetes, anxiety, and feeling depressed are all things that can work together to cause your neurological system to constantly be on high alert.
Chronic pain can show its ugly head in the form of back pain, joint pain, nerve pain, or headaches. Many chronic pain conditions arise from a neurophysiological context.
It often happens because of one of the following causes:
Disease
Surgical Procedures
Overuse Injuries
Workplace Injuries
What can a physical therapist do for my chronic pain?
Physical therapy can mean the difference between continuing to live through pain or maintaining control over your life!
If your condition limits your ability to function, our physical therapists will determine the best course of treatment for you. One of the primary goals of physical therapy is pain management and treating the underlying cause of the problem, rather than masking symptoms with drugs.
Our physical tests at Precision In Movement are used to assess weak and vulnerable parts of the body, focusing on positions with limited range of motion and identifying any imbalances in gait or balance. All of these tests assist our therapists in determining the underlying causes of your chronic pain.
After the assessment, a physical therapist will create a recovery plan that is specific to your needs. Your treatment plan will include both in-clinic and at-home therapy to ensure that you remain safe while receiving treatment.
Advanced, calming manual therapy methods will also be used to help restore soft tissue and joint mobility. Your physical therapist will also prescribe pain-relieving procedures and gentle targeted exercises to improve strength.
With our dedicated and caring team, there is no reason to be afraid of physical therapy! So, what’s holding you back from pursuing recovery when you have so much to gain?
